The present-day industry has a fleet of modern vessels and processing factories which are investing heavily in innovative technology and improved handling techniques to ensure the Scottish seafood on your plate is second to none in terms of quality and sustainability.

Over 60 different species are landed around Scotland's 4,000 kilometres of beautiful clean coastline, with landings of more than 400,000 tonnes each year, making Scotland one of the largest seafood producers in Europe. You can easily find anything from gorgeous Scottish langoustine, Scotland's most valuable seafood product in terms of landings, to healthy oil-rich mackerel or Scottish haddock, packed with minerals, protein and vitamin B, from your local fish monger, fish van or supermarket.

With so much top quality Scottish seafood around, you're spoilt for choice if you want to prepare a healthy, tasty and fast dish. In only minutes, you can pan fry, oven bake, poach, grill or cook a wide range of readily available quality seafood and treat your loved ones to a delicious meal that is nutritious and filling and ideal for a growing body or just for helping maintain a healthy diet.
